So about twelve months ago I replaced the rear tyres on my car. My previous pair were a set of super sticky and soft summer tyres. They didn't even last 5000km before needing to be replaced. They were pretty great though, since I could throw my car at corners and she'd stick to the road like glue.
The ones I've replaced them with are much harder wearing all-weathers. They're nowhere near as sticky, buuuuuuut I haven't yet adapted to the considerably less grip.
Boy howdy my car can be a handful!
